I hope you are warm where you are at. We are in the middle of a blizzard this weekend. The snow just keeps coming. It's been many years since I have had to deal with this much snow. It's pretty to look at from the inside, but it all has to get removed and go somewhere. That means shoveling and getting out in it. I can't even open my front door at the moment. Ugh! Anyway, I am on the Trendy TwineBlog today with a project.

I am happy to share with you a little gift I put together for my son to give to his teachers that incorporates some Raspberry Cupcake TrendyTwine.

I love decorating and gift giving anything in a jar. They are so fun and easy to decorate. I spray painted the top and set to dry. Once dry, I then hit it
with some spray adhesive and added some chunky glitter.

This gives a slightly better view of the top. I just die-cut a circle from hot-pink patterned paper and die-cut a lighter pink heart to cover the jar seal.

At the top of the jar, I added some light pink crochet lace trim which I topped with the yummy Raspberry Cupcake TrendyTwine tying in a bow embellishing with a baby pink paper rose. I simply adhered a die-cut layer to the center of my jar after I stamped my images and sentiment using the Paper Smooches Bee Mine set. Before I adhered the layers, I trimmed my circle with RaspberryCupcake Trendy Twine adding a bow to the top for a further embellishing touch.

I also used the images from the new Valentine's DayPrintable in the store as well. The pink graph with hearts you see below come on that sheet, and I just cut it down to size. I also die-cut the circle with heart out and added to the center. I die-cut a pink arrow layered on top. Next I die-cut a heart from bright pink felt added to the center embellishing with a white button laced with Raspberry Cupcake TrendyTwine.

I started this card by piecing together a few pink and white patterned papers I had in my paper stash and adding to the pink card front.

I then wrapped a length of bright pink crinkle seam binding around the vertical center of the patterned papers and tied it in a fussy bow at the top of the card and embellished it with a big pink button laced and looped with a Raspberry Cupcake TrendyTwine bow.

The striped frame was stamped in white snow ink, on pink cardstock added to the center o the card front. I filled the frame with some die-cut mittens which I tied together in a shape of a heart using Raspberry Cupcake TrendyTwine. The sweet sentiment was added to the bottom of the card.
